Follow the Saint is a collection of three mystery novellas by Leslie Charteris, featuring the crimefighter Simon Templar, alias The Saint.

Follow the Saint marked a change in the publication order for the Saint books. Up to this point, the books were always published first in the United Kingdom, followed by an American publication later in the year or sometimes a year later. The order was switched beginning with this book, with the American edition (by The Crime Club) predating the UK edition by Hodder and Stoughton, which was not released until 1939.

[edit] Stories

The book consisted of the following stories:

1. The Miracle Tea Party
2. The Invisible Millionaire
3. The Affair of Hogsbotham

[edit] Television adaptations

Two of the stories were later adapted as episodes of the TV series The Saint. "The Invisible Millionaire" aired on February 13, 1964, during the programme's second season. "The Miracle Tea Party" opened the third season on October 8, 1964.
